Waymond Jordan

The revolving door at running back for USC continues to spin with Jordan, a top JUCO prospect who was the NJCAA Offensive Player of the year last season. Translating explosive numbers to the CFB is no easy task, but the Trojans will need his help after losing Woody Marks to the NFL. Although coach Lincoln Riley likes to air it out, there will be no shortage of work for Jordan, who will continue the tradition of elite running back play that USC is known for. The mass exodus of receivers in the offseason will also place added focus on the running game, and although the depth chart is jammed with several options (including transfer Eli Sanders from New Mexico State), Jordan is expected to end on top, with Sanders serving as a change-of-pace back. If he can adjust to the speed of CFB defenses, Jordan will receive enough volume to be one of the top running backs in the Big Ten. Read Past Outlooks
